It's a mini-budget day in Canada, and it's a doosey one, with the PMO trying to get rid of the $250-a-week cheque giveaway to working Canadians. Will they succeed?
00:00:00.000Hi, it's John and welcome to the channel. Monday, December the 16th, just before 6 o'clock, 9 sleeps until Santa.
00:00:06.760Merry Christmas to you and your family with the big blue mug of coffee this morning.
00:00:11.940And it is so-called mini-budget day here in Canada, maxed out with your cash.
00:00:17.040Last night, an article went up on the National Post website. Here it is, still up there this morning.
00:00:22.080Scoop! Freeland to reverse promised $250 working Canadians checks in mini-budget on Monday.
00:00:30.200Canceling the PMO's questionable giveaway may be a victory of sorts for Freeland.
00:00:34.080Now, I predicted this a couple of weeks ago. I didn't think this would go through.
00:00:38.100But let me ask you this. Is this check cancellation a mini-victory for you as you continue to struggle with the high cost of living here in Canada?
00:00:47.500You know, I've been saying for ages that I feel like it's a constant assault on Canadians because of the economy and because of the Liberal government under Justin Trudeau.
00:00:57.360I would love to get away from the country. I think a lot of people would like to move out of the country to get away from the mess that we're in right now.
00:01:04.360But we can't even do that because the dollar exchange is so poor right now.
00:01:08.120And I think we should change the motto of the country from Canada, the true north, strong and free, to Canada.
00:01:13.460You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
00:01:17.220Now, the government knows it is causing pain. Trudeau knows he is causing you pain right now.
00:01:24.540But instead of actually helping, he resorts to bribing you with your money.
00:01:29.100Astoundingly, a majority of people aren't buying it and are aware of the con.
00:01:34.200This includes the 20-30% still dumb enough to support Trudeau and the Liberal Party.
00:01:38.980The GST tax holiday is looking a lot like the Griswold vacation to Wally World, the Canadian taxpayer in the place of Imogene Coca on the roof of the car.
00:01:50.180Freeland may get a minor victory today when the check-writing scheme is scrapped, but her time is almost up.
00:01:56.320Feminist Trudeau is about to dust off the Greyhound and give her a place under it.
00:02:00.500Her only comfort? At least she'll have company as Trudeau rolls it over the other women he discarded when they weren't fast enough to make him a sandwich.
00:02:09.680The Canadian people, unfortunately, are hostage to the economic terrorism of trust fund Trudeau and his fellow jihadist, Champagne Socialist Singh.
00:02:18.360At least Jags had enough sense to smell a stinker when that check idea was floated out by Justin.
00:02:23.440The dippers wouldn't support the blatant bribery.
00:03:00.360It'll come in at around $55 billion and you'll be told it's good fiscal responsibility.
00:03:06.480Pierre Polyev, meanwhile, will be flicking his BIC and powering up the gaslight in the House of Commons when that gets floated by Chrystia.
00:03:13.820$60 billion works out to $1,500 for every man, woman and child in the country.
00:03:19.040That's money on top of the actual budget.
00:03:21.560Is your life better with all this spending?
00:03:24.120This isn't mismanagement of government. This is criminal.
00:03:27.800Trudeau thinks he can spend his way out of disaster with your money.
00:03:30.980In other words, in for a penny, in for $6 trillion more.
00:03:35.120All of this horrible news is being dropped two days before Trudeau and his group of fellow budgetary criminals take a six-week vacation.
00:03:42.100I wonder if the Aga Khan has a room reserved for Justin this Christmas.
00:03:45.140I'm sure some intrepid YouTuber will be tracking Trudeau's taxpayer-funded jet somewhere warm and cozy while you count the carbon tax every time your furnace kicks in.
00:03:54.620In closing, keep your eye on two dates, January 20th and January 27th.
00:04:01.680The first is the swearing-in of Donald Trump, the second the return of Parliament after the Christmas break.
00:04:08.040We still haven't heard Trudeau's plan on securing the border.
00:04:12.720Perhaps Justin's waiting for Santa to drop it in his Christmas stocking this year.
00:04:17.400But Donald Trump's tariffs are waiting.
